He is a decent passer. "Savant" is a strong word, though. He is bordering to being an overrated (although I highly disagree) due to being injury-prone and can't lead his team to any kind of contention.
I agree. Instead of making a simple pass he wants to make the same pass but behind the back or no look because it looks cool and people eat that shit up.
Decent is crazy imo, but I get what you mean. Lamelo is the most talented passer itl, if he had better talent surrounding him he would rack up crazy numbers.
